Happy to blog the 20th post... Its the simple butter cake.Baking a cake was a long time desire for me.Finally it came true when me and Mano akka learnt it from her friend.Have made around 5 cakes so far.Its a easy and simple recipe to do.And here comes the procedure.Only few pieces were remaining so took snap with it :)

Ingredients:

Self-raising flour-300 gm

Sugar-300 gm

Butter-300 gm

Egg-300 gm(will count to 5 approx)

Vanilla essence-3 tbsp

Color essence-if needed(comes in yellow color naturally)

Method

Heat butter lightly in microwave.Then add sugar to it.Mix it well using a spatula.Mix in a deep curved large bowl

Beat it using a hand mixer.Mix well.Then add egg one by one and keep beating the mixture.See that u beat in the same direction.

Then add the self raising flour.Mix it with spatula.Then use the beater and mix well.Add the vanilla essence and color if necessary.

preheat the oven to 175 deg for 15 mins(this temp depends on the type of oven you are using)Mean time spread butter over the cake tray.Pour the beaten mixture.Bring down the oven temp to 150.Keep the cake tray inside the oven and cook the cake(takes approx 1 hr).
